@jason_sbd Currently, the latest Cordova version in Monaca is 6.5. Adaptive Icons requires API level 26 which is not supported in Cordova 6.5. Therefore, Adaptive Icons are not supported in Monaca yet. However, we’ve already started working on Cordova 7 support. We hope to release it in the beginning of 2018.

@jptheripper Hi, sorry for a late reply.
The support for Cordova 7.1 is released since January. However, the adaptive icon is still not supported in Monaca. This is because Cordova doesn’t have any way of defining an adaptive icon in the config.xml (see the issue here). There’s nothing we can do until it is fixed in Cordova. Thanks for understanding.

Is this still a thing? we are really missing out on this. Android One and many other UI homes uses rounded icons, thus android resorts to “legacy” icon renders which encapsulates the icon inside a rounded one with a big padding, making it look odd, old or even ugly.
